Remarks.—A ug. 24.—The demand for Flour and .. 
from abroad has fallen off, and as the new crop is coming in 
freely, prices have rapidly receded since our last. A much 
larger reduction is confidently anticipated. The grain prospects 
in England and throughout Europe are generally very promising, 
and there is little expectation of any considerable demand from 
that quarter ; while our own crops have been so unusually good 
and abundant, and so large a portion of our population are produ¬ 
cing their own food, that it is believed grain will reach a lower 
price in the American,'market than has been known for a great 
many years Corn and oats are abundant and dull.

Important Sale to Agriculturists. 
IMPROVED SHORT HORN DURHAM CATTLE., 
On Thursday, the 8th September, 
At 10 o’clock, will be sold at public sale, at the Exhibition 
ground of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society, Rising Sun, on 
the Germantown Road, 3 miles from the city, a choice selection of 
splendid DURHAM DAIRY STOCK, from the herd of James 
Gowen, Esq., of Mount Airy, consisting of imported Cows, young 
Bulls and Calves, from Dairy Maid, Pochontas, Victoria, etc., and 
by the celebrated bulls Colostra, Prince of Wales, and Leander. 
This sale will afford to breeders an opportunity of adding to 
their stocks thorough bred animals of high character and pure 
blood, and their diffusion into proper hands is a primary object in 
this sale, together with the necessity of a separation of the lierd to 
prevent over close breeding. 
Catalogues will be ready in due time, and the cattle may be 
examined at the Exhibition ground two days previous to the sale.
